Looking into issue with Grand Arena Championship

If it was an exhibition/test as many people say, then any ranks or titles earned should have been null and void, and really not obtainable other than virtually. If ranks and titles carried through to lifetime achievements then it wasn't a true exhibition. It was a full-blown GA.

Exhibition game-an unofficial game played under regular game conditions between professional teams, usually as a part of preseason training or as a fund-raising event.

Exhibition-a public display, as of the work of artists or artisans, the products of farms or factories, the skills of performers, or objects of general interest.

Dictionary.com definitions.

Any encouragement to monetize GA makes it no longer an exhibition, rather the real thing. If they look at it as a fund raising event then I'd like to see the paperwork showing their not for profit status or what fund they were raising money for.

Imagine an artist putting an incomplete piece of art on display. That is essentially what happened with this failed attempt at an "exhibition".
